BREAKING NEWS: MIKE TOMLIN Could Not Afford To Lose A Talented Player And Ready To Sign $94M DEAL

As of right now, Mike Tomlin’s contract is set to expire at the end of the 2024 season; but, things could alter before the end of the summer. Following the Patriots’ decision to let Bill Belichick go, Tomlin is currently the NFL head coach with the longest tenure. But in the last ten years, he’s had relatively little success in the playoffs, which has left many in Pittsburgh hoping for more.

Tomlin can definitely feel the heat building up on Pittsburgh’s north shore. There’s a limit to how much subpar play Steelers ownership and fans will put up with, and Tomlin’s winning record is only going to get him so far. He’s not Jeff Fisher.

Winning records and Wild Card eliminations have satisfied a team that was formerly evaluated by Lombardi Trophies. The ultimate objective is now to win just one small playoff game in Patrick Mahomes’ AFC—something the Steelers haven’t done since 2016—rather than win a

The continuity of the Steelers organization, starting with the Rooneys, is what makes it so great. Although Tomlin’s message has become old, general manager Omar Khan firmly trusts him to assist oversee the Steelers program. A split could make sense for all parties unless he can support his bluster with postseason success—at least one win, but more strongly encouraged.
